Has anyone here used this product on chrome headers to keep the chrome from bluing?

I've heard from the Harley guys that they pour oil inside the pipes before warming for the first time.

No, I haven't used it. Welcome Aboard!
We're not stumped....do a search on it. How to keep your nice chrome pipes from turning blue?
Don't get them hot!
Start your car up with old exhaust manifolds or headers, tune it, get it where its supposed to be before putting the prettys on. If not, just wrap them and be done. Theres a spray you put on the wrapping that keeps them nice for a good while.
I was wrapping before rapping was cool! hahahaha....

That Eastwood product is just a continuation on a old theme, aeresol white grease in a can. We used to do that back in the late 60's and 70's to keep the chrome pipes on choppers from turning blue, it soon caught on at the dealers. Worked good in the Zoomies, as long as you didn't let the crap get on you after it started burning. 1 good rev on a FC or Altered, you'd have blisters on your face, neck and arms....but it worked.
I looked like I was doing the Mexican Hat dance more than once back in the pits after startups....

As SS said....you can do it with oil....anything that will get hot enough to burn, coat and then crystalize after getting hot. All your doing is putting a glaze inside that pipe, to carry the heat on down further to let it cool off some....

The Eastwood stuff is on sale, try it and let us know.

I remember reading that and like that idea. I'm not much on using forum search engines as they are mostly retarded, but if you use google or other regular search engine and use the right key words you can have some good luck at finding the info your looking for (which will probably lead me right back here) . I've been here for a while and had not seen much info on it so thought I'd ask.

A-flippin'-men!

But here's a neat trick that will help you narrow Google searches down to this site.

Entering exhaust coatings into a Google search field will produce results from all over the Web. I just ran a search on that term and Google returned 3,440,000 results.

But I can narrow down all 83 indexed pages on this site that use the term exhaust coatings, by using the following search term -

exhaust coatings site:tbucketeers.com

I hope this will help.

Well that's worth remembering and it may keep some of the old timers here from pulling their hair out reading another repeat question. I plan on keeping my hair in place.

Oh man, don't go telling people how to search like that... it's my little secret to finding good deals on strange things on craigslist in other cities.
